· New event for MFDF
· 4th and 5th October
· Manchester Cathedral
Manchester Food and Drink Festival have today unveiled plans for a brand new Wine and Fizz Festival at Manchester Cathedral on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th October.
The event will be a great big, fun packed celebration of the most exciting and exclusive wines and sparkling wines from around the world.
The exquisite Manchester Cathedral will make an extraordinary setting for a wonderful wine jamboree that will bring together an impressive roster of merchants including many of the city’s local acclaimed wine experts and shops, as well as brands from around the world.
Although the wines will be serious, the event is set to be a jolly and light hearted occasion providing a great day or evening out for anyone who loves wine – from the passionate enthusiast to the novice fizz fan. As well as the opportunity to drink wines from a dozen brands and merchants, all included in the price, attendees will enjoy a multitude of wine and fizz bars, live music and artisan food.
The Fest will be split into four dedicated zones – English Wines, Wines of the World, the Fizz Quarter and a Food Matching area dedicated to providing the perfect accompaniment to the wines on offer from artisan cheese and chocolate to mezze and deli platters and patisserie.
A few confirmed brands already taking part include Croatian Fine Wines showcasing an exclusive collection from Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Macedonia; 3D wines who will be showcasing a number of wines from their French, Italian and New Zealand vineyards as well as some wine gifts and subscription boxes; and 'People Choice Wine Awards’ who will be bringing all the winning wines from the 2019 competition.
Attendees will be able to taste their way around all quarters of the Festival armed with their tasting glass, as well as being able to buy wine by the bottle and glass and just soak up the
venue in dedicated social seating areas. There’ll be live music throughout, adding to the laid-back festival-feel as well as a full programme of tutored tastings and masterclasses on a variety of topics. Despite the awe-inspiring venue and incredible grapes on offer- this is no stuffy and solemn wine worshipping event, but a big, welcoming celebration of wine for the people of Manchester and beyond designed be enjoyed with gusto!
